      Walter Henry Watts (1776-1842) England Portrait of Mr J W Thompson Watercolour, heightened with gouache Signed & inscribed with title verso 16 x 16 cm, 32.5 x 30 cm framed LITERATURE: Walter Henry Watts was born in 1776. Educated in England he developed his skills as a miniature painter there. Between 1808 and 1830 Watts exhibited miniatures at the Royal Academy in London. In 1803, he was appointed parliamentary reporter at the Morning Post, joining the Morning Chronicle in 1813 in the same capacity.

He died in London on 4 January 1842. https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/a5532605-606b-32f9-aa9e-f1bb8f86385d Watts was born in the East Indies in 1776, the son of a captain in the Royal Navy.

He obtained some renown as a miniature painter, and from 1808 to 1830 exhibited miniatures at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1816 he was appointed miniature painter to Princess Charlotte of Wales.

About 1813 he joined The Morning Chronicle in the same capacity. In 1826 he undertook to manage the reporting department of The Representative, but, returning to The Morning Chronicle in the following year, he continued to act as a parliamentary reporter until 1840.
